Surf City just got a new pizza obsession.
Coast Pizza on Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach is a small, focused pie shop turning out beautifully simple, ingredient-driven Neapolitan-style pizzas — think roasted garlic cream, fresh ricotta, hand-torn basil, and that perfectly blistered crust.
Already named one of the best pizza places in Huntington Beach, it’s the kind of low-key gem locals quietly hope tourists never find. 🍕
How Coast Pizza won Huntington Beach hearts
Coast Pizza built its reputation the old-school way: let the pizza do the talking. Tucked along Beach Boulevard, the spot quickly earned a spot on Yelp’s list of Huntington Beach’s top pizza places, right alongside long-established Surf City favorites like Bollini’s il Forno and Beachwood Pizza & Beer.
Not bad for a newer addition to a town where pizza loyalty runs deep. 🤤

Customer reviews paint a clear picture. One diner specifically called out the excellent Neapolitan pizza, noting the spicy salami pie and how “the ricotta and mozzarella were so fresh”.
The menu itself, available through Toast, makes the philosophy obvious — every pie is built around just a handful of pristine ingredients, with creative combinations like red pepper purée, roasted garlic cream, and house ricotta showing up across the lineup.
It’s confident, restrained, and deeply Italian. In a beach town packed with chain slice shops, Coast Pizza feels like the move locals make when they really want pizza done right. 👏
